Honda 2013 F6B Complete Air Filter Replacement

This video shows you how to replace the air filter in a Honda 2013 F6B. The video will be helpful if you own a Goldwing to. I'm no expert in bike maintenance, but learned from other KZbin videos and reading maintenance manuals. Plus it's very expensive to have a dealer do the filter change. I'd like to give a special thanks to "tcalof" who put together a really nice video on how to change out the filter. It was very helpful. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.

As a new F6B owner, I have been reading horror stories about the air filter change in various forums. Local dealerships charging 2-3 hours labor, and some not even doing the work because you would never know if they changed the filter or not due to the complexity of the procedure. Thanks for this video tutorial, I feel much better about tackling this when the time comes as opposed to paying the dealer $280.00.

[@bgrides2108]

Your welcome. The F6B is a great bike. I didn't want to pay $300 bucks either so I decided to give it a try after doing some research just like your doing.

Outstanding video. Many thanks! I have exact same bike - black 2013 F6B. I had no trouble tackling this job. Many, many easy steps - go slow. Knowing where those clips were located behind every panel was very helpful. I pulled close to the clips to avoid cracking a plastic part. I did get an inexpensive clip puller and trim kit off ebay which helped. My bike had 24,000 miles and the filter could have gone another 5,000 miles but clearly it was due. Oh and i did the whole job with one arm. I had my shoulder replaced 3 weeks ago so I had some down time. Thanks again. Ride safe !

@@bgrides2108 I am very pleased with my F6B. Although it’s a barge the performance is far better than I was expecting. I also have a Heritage Softail and a RC51. The F6B is the only bike I take out anymore. None of my riding is on open highway, strictly secondary roads out exploring here in upstate New York. A couple tips to pass along. (1) Centramatic wheel balancers really work. (2) Maxima Pro Plus is the best oil I’ve found for the GL1800/F6B. I have used Mobil 1 Racing 4T and Rotella T6 several times. These oils either run hot, shift poorly, or break down too quickly. I use Maxima in my KX250F which is a much harsher application than the GL1800 so I gave it a try. Thank-you again for the video. By far the best one I’ve used.

Thank you so much for making this video sir. I am new to the Wing world after just picking up my (new to me) 08 GL1800. I take pride in wrenching on my own machines and can probably tell you everything you need to know about Harley’s after owning six of them and currently riding an Electra Glide. Servicing the GoldWing looks even easier than a Harley EXCEPT for the air filter. Even though your bike is newer than mine and the snaps, clips, screws, bolts, straps and other things may be slightly different 🤔….you took the intimidation factor away for me to do this later in the fall. This was the one item I was going to have the dealer do. I already ordered the HiFloFiltro filter you linked to. Ironically I use the same brand on my Harley for the oil filter. Good stuff!

Ok BG, I followed your video by the letter and I actually did it! I brought my laptop into my shed and followed your tutorial, it was still a pretty awful job but luckily everything still worked once I buttoned it all up. I was primarily worried about messing around in all of that wiring! Without this video I would have never attempted doing this filter replacement. The old filter is approximately five years old and hardly looks dirty. I don’t put on much mileage during a riding season, plus I’m mostly on the highway. So it will be at least five more years before I decide to do this job again. Many thanks for your help BG!

I opened up the right saddlebag, pulled back a little on the plastic cover for the preload valve but I was only able to peel it off half way, then it seems that the metal tip over bar is getting in the way.

I ended up putting in a speaker upgrade kit from J&M since everything was exposed which I did a video on... I had about 30K miles on the filter.

I started by opening the right saddlebag, then I carefully pulled the back part of that small plastic panel, it started to come out but then I couldn't go much farther because of the u-shape tip-over bar and the top of this plastic panel is wedged under the seat. It appears that the only way to get to the preload adjuster is by removing the seat too!? This just doesn't make any sense, I must be doing something wrong.

I guess I won't be changing the air filter!

[@bgrides2108]

I almost said that to :)

[@jimgomes7000]

Wow that was EZ 🤣

[@bgrides2108]

Hi Jim, Felt like they designed the bike around the air filter :)

[@rodm1949]

That's a deal breaker for me. Thanks for that I'll buy the BMW.

[@bgrides2108]

Hi Rod, Yeah. It's the one maintenance item that sucks for sure. But all the other stuff is pretty easy. The bikes ride incredibly well and so reliable. BMW are sweet also. Thanks for watching.

What a pain in the A$$ just for and air filter

[@bgrides2108]

That's the truth. Good thing you don't need to replace it that often. Thanks for watching!

[@jf4395]

Honda should be punched in the mouth for this.....Almost makes me not want to buy one now...You better be replacing anything that can go bad while your in there that far.....

[@bgrides2108]

Yeah. I'd agree. They made it hard for sure. It's a great bike other than replacing the filter.
